Does she have to merge into the right hand lane anyway? It seems she was heading in a strange trajectory.
Doesn't necessary make a huge difference.I very much doubt you'd be 100% liable if you were stationary and another car sideswiped you. Its not hellish much different to being rear ended.

Would be very interested to hear what your insurance firm says though, might settle this little arguement!
well i spoke to them today, and explained it all....just got to wait...seems chassie is bent, guy at body shop said he can pull it back into line for £150...hes giving me a quote to give my insurance company if they need it, and ima start the long repair process tomorrow i do realise itll probably be settled in her favour....but one can hope

It is critical however that the subframe is not out of position
if it is then it needs doing professionally.
yeh the rest of the leg looked in line, i think cos it was a front/side on collision, rather than head on so it didnt crumple just bent a bit....but if its doable with a scaffold pole ill give that a go, this is goign to be quite expensive....cant seem to find a bumper in any breakers, they all keep giving me 5 door 1's tellign me they will fit.....
oh and MEP im gonna post up a pic of the headlight i bought, can u tell me if its 5 or 3 dr please? what orientation would you like the pic?
i never thoguht of that, but i think that given the prestige of the car there would have been some sort of integrated phone, but how would i go about checkign this?
FYI: it was a mecedes benz clk280 avangard convertible hardtop.....
wooop i managed to get bonnet, bumper suport, that plastic shroud, wing and headlamp for £200...should be delivered tomorrow.....MEP im still gonna post up a pic of the other headlamp i got initially, i took the second one cos i cant resist a good deal
still nothing from the insurers after the initial phonecall.....might give them a bell....
It's only your word against hers but that's a rather incriminating statement as it suggests she made no attempt to stop....so wasnt fully aware to anythign she realy said, except the whole "i saw you so i sped up to try and avoid you"
